This isn't an Earth-shattering revelation, but anyone whose livelihood depends on a job in the animation/VFX/gaming industry needs to seriously think about their future.

A reason for artists to familiarize themselves with AI, determine if it can fit into their workflow. Note what it’s good at and what needs the human touch, then be able to communicate that to executives and clients.

Bob Harper, thank you for sharing this article!! So much is going to change in the next few years and everyone needs to be thinking ahead for how they can adapt to those changes and make the most out of them!
We have an AMA going on today in the Post-Production Lounge with VFX artist, Kenneth Lui, if you both want to ask him about his thoughts on how these things may affect the VFX side of the field as well! Or what changes he's already been seeing.

AI is becoming synonymous with disruption. It will be both a great good and a great evil as well as a lot of dreck. It encompasses everything from truly impressive sound noise and reverb reduction that make "fix it in post" now possible to people will attempt to legally marry a AI "person" and will property. At this point, I think it's not possible to constructively talk about "AI". I think we have to narrow down to the specific AI tech in a moment in time as it's too vast, even more than words like "computers" "digital" or "internet". It's even beyond "technology" at this point given the impacts on things far beyond tech.
Stephen Van Vuuren I agree mostly, except I do believe it is important to try and constructively talk about AI with any hopes in shaping it to be less of an evil. It ain't going nowhere, best to try and get a handle on it and not get left in the dust.

Sad and ridiculous. AI doesn't belong in animation, filmmaking, and any form of art.
